PTS’s
A lesson plan for everything in the PTS’s
All the references listed in the PTS’s
AOPA air space guide
Endorsements guide
Sectional instructions
Summaries/outlines for all that FOI stuff that’s hard to remember
E6B instructions

FAA books (Instructor, Pilot, etc.)
FAR/AIM

These should all look/be well highlighted, noted, and worn. Don’t just print – read and be able to find answers. My edition of the FAR/AIM had a good list of what applies specifically to each certificate/rating, so I hit all of that with a highlighter as I read/studied.

Thank you,

What PTS’s should I get ?
Also, any helpful CFI video series to explain the FOI and other topics? I tend to be a visual learner.

Thank You

You should have current copies of the private, commercial and CFI PTS’s. It probably is a good idea to have the sport pilot PTS as well if you are training for an ASE instructor rating.
